Saudi Arabia: Loujain Al-Hathloul among finalists for prestigious human rights prize
14/01/2021 Rashbrax
The shortlist of nominees for the 2020 Václav Havel Prize, which honours outstanding civil society action defending human rights, is comprised entirely of women, from Saudi women’s rights activist Loujain Al-Hathloul, to a group of Buddhist nuns in Nepal and Julienne Lusenge in Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Like her fellow nominees in Nepal and Congo, Loujain Al-Hathloul is a strong advocate for women’s rights, having boldly campaigned for women’s right to drive in Saudi Arabia as well as against the repressive male guardianship system.
